Hi,
According to NEWS file,
"tee -" now writes to standard output instead of to a file named "-".
However, tee closes stdout more than once if file is named "-":

FYI,
Before, 3 man pages (echo, printf, pwd) included a warning like this:
NOTE: your shell may have its own version of printf, which usually supersedes
the version described here. Please refer to your shell's documentation
for details about the options it supports.
I've put that warning i
Thanks for your bug report. That hint is removed in coreutils 5.3.0,
which you can get here:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.3.0.tar.gz
so the confusion shouldn't occur.

POSIX requires support for that. It's weird, but it's probably not
worth diagnosing.

Part of the motivation for removing support for usages not allowed by
POSIX was conformance. But part of it, t

Hi,
I am using Mandrake Linux 10. I have a problem when I am using command 'who' in
comsole it does not gives any out put. But when I gives command: "prompt>who
-a" it gives out put. My point is that some commands are working and do not.
Please let me know if it is possible.
